Story
Finn is a 5-year-old neutered boy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart for his people. He's incredibly handsome and definitely knows it! While he's not a lap cat, he loves being close. He'll sleep by your head, greet you at the door, give head bumps and little kisses, and gently rest a paw on you just to stay connected.Finn loves to play, enjoys catnip, and never turns down treats. He can be a little timid at first, but once he trusts you, he's a sweet, loyal companion who purrs often and loves being near his person.Finn needs to be the only pet. Despite years of trying separation, enrichment, pheromones, medication, and careful management, he has never been able to live safely with my other cats. This decision is heartbreaking, but I want him to have the happy, stress-free life he deserves. I truly believe he'll thrive in a home where he can be someone's one and only.

Story
Eight year old Priscilla is a pretty, short hair brown tabby with white feet and a bib. Her loving owner recently passed away, leaving her and her cat friends without a place to go. Priscilla has a big personality and likes to play with toys, but only after she gets to know you. Wand toys are her favorite. Although she lived peacefully with other cats she may prefer to have someone all to herself. She is affectionate, loves a good scritch or three under her chin and is very talkative and will converse with you about your day. She has great litter box habits and is used to being an indoor only cat. She is on a weight loss journey to stay healthy and regain her kittenish figure. Priscilla would do best in a patient home that understands she may need a little time to fully open up after all the changes she’s experienced. But for someone willing to give her that space and love, Priscilla will reward you with endless affection, soothing purrs, and quiet companionship. Her foster had this to say: "Priscilla is so interesting! She’s an easy keeper, doesn’t meow much and has a sweet little voice. She likes sitting next to you but not on your lap. She tolerates being picked up briefly. She loves the cat dancer. Chubby as she is, she’s agile and moves around easily. She’s a good eater but curiously, doesn’t come around at the sound of cans opening. She explores at night, spends a little time on the bed, but still loves dark places best—day or night. The bottom of the closet is her happy place."
